Bone Daddy + Immortal

Gorgeous, gorgeous! I am so much in love with the Halloween polishes that came out this year! Every indie maker really knocked it out of the park. Even China Glaze, Wet N Wild and Sinful Colors had some nice offerings for the Halloween fans. The 2 polishes I have on today are some standouts for me!

I'll start with the base/undies: China Glaze Immortal. Immortal comes from the Wicked collection that was recently released. Immortal is a gorgeous medium grey with silver micro flecks and pink and blue shimmer. It applied smooth and easily. I used 2 coats for my full mani, then went back and added a 3rd coat to my ring finger nails to ensure that it was fully covered. Very beautiful and unique color in my collection.

And now CrowsToes Bone Daddy. I love the name (nod to Nightmare Before Christmas hero Jack Skellington), I love the theme and I love the color/glitter combo. Bone Daddy is a light grey tinged base full of white matte glitters. They vary in size and shape - bar, hexs, micro glitter. There is also a sparse sprinkling of a glowy royal blue glitter and some glowy yellow glitter. The blue does show up on the nail but I did not notice the yellow. The blue glitters have an ethereal feel about them which I think is perfectly fitted to the polish. The grey base didn't seem to change the color of Immortal. The glitters were quite easy to get o the nail - no fishing, no placement needed. A plenty good assortment came out with each dip of the brush. I used 2 coats of Immortal, followed up by a coat of Gelous and then a coat of top coat.

What are your thoughts on these 2 polishes? Do you love or loathe the matte glitter? You can get China Glaze at your local beauty supply store. CrowsToes are available now at OverallBeauty - go get 'em while the getting is good!!
